Difficulty: HardExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the following passage carefully:

"In October 2025, the Ministry of Heavy Industries notified the operational guidelines for the National Electric Freight Vehicle Incentive Scheme (NEFVIS). Under the scheme, direct financial subsidies are granted exclusively to commercial fleet operators purchasing heavy-duty electric trucks registered after December 1, 2025. Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and privately owned electric vehicles are strictly excluded from direct purchase incentives, though LCV operators qualify for a 50% concession on highway toll charges provided the vehicle is fitted with a certified FASTag. Furthermore, state-owned transport undertakings receive an additional 5% capital bonus only if their fleet electrification plan incorporates at least 30% locally sourced battery packs manufactured by certified domestic vendors."

Based strictly on the passage above, which of the following statements is explicitly correct?

  1. State-owned transport undertakings are eligible for a 5% capital bonus provided at least 30% of their battery packs are sourced locally from certified domestic vendors.Answer
  2. B
    Light commercial vehicle operators purchasing electric trucks receive a 50% direct subsidy on the vehicle purchase price if registered after December 1, 2025.
  3. C
    Privately owned electric vehicles qualify for highway toll concessions to accelerate overall electric vehicle adoption goals.
  4. D
    Heavy-duty electric trucks registered prior to December 1, 2025, automatically receive reduced toll concessions instead of direct capital subsidies.

Answer

State-owned transport undertakings are eligible for a 5% capital bonus provided at least 30% of their battery packs are sourced locally from certified domestic vendors.
The correct option is directly stated in the final sentence of the passage, matching the exact 5% capital bonus requirement and the 30% domestic battery sourcing threshold without altering any factual condition.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the question stem to identify the explicit factual requirement
The goal is to find the statement that is directly stated in the text without external addition or misreading.
Explicit fact extraction questions require strict alignment with text statements.
2
Evaluate the statement regarding state-owned transport undertakings against the passage
The final sentence of the passage directly supports this statement: state-owned transport undertakings get a 5% capital bonus if their plan incorporates at least 30% locally sourced battery packs from certified domestic vendors.
This matches the exact conditions, percentages, and qualifiers presented in the passage.
3
Verify and eliminate distractors by identifying specific misreadings or assumptions
The option claiming LCVs get purchase subsidies confuses toll concessions with purchase price subsidies. The option including private EVs assumes unstated benefits. The option regarding pre-December 2025 vehicles invents an unstated rule.
Distractors exploit detail misreading, external bias, and unsupported assumptions.
